Association of Illustrators | 2007 Illustrator Fees & Standard Pricing
I’ve found this AOI Report of Illustrator Fees & Standard Pricing 2007 to be a gem of a resource… already have put it to use as a rough starting point when providing quotes for products I’ve never had to illustrate before. It has everything from children’s book rates to advertising pricing. An illustrator’s dream! Well worth reading in full – be sure to read it with an English accent, it’s more fun that way. According to the AOI, the most important considerations when calculating your fee are :
• The Use
• Area of Use or Territory
• Duration
• Client’s Profile
• Reputation of Illustrator
• Expenses
• Client’s Budget

hey folks. not sure if anyone out there can help me but i am looking to do some illustrations for a start-up company that will be producing greeting cards, calendars, etc. they sent me the contract and it looks like they want to pay me in royalties-only (5% of wholesale price t be determined by company). and they want to own the rights to my images. now i don’t know a lot about this sort of thing but that doesn’t sound right to me. any ideas? i don’t want to pass up a good opportunity but i don’t want to be taken advantage of either…
thanks for any help.
